A.
As specified in the schedule, § 370-7 of this chapter; provided, however, that no lot fronting on Route 130 shall be developed except in accordance with an overall plan for a tract of not less than 10 acres, unless such lot existed before September 1971, contains at least 40,000 square feet and the owner thereof has owned no contiguous property thereto since September 1971. All such ten-acre or larger tracts shall have a minimum frontage of 435 feet and a minimum depth of 1,000 feet. No dimension of any portion of the remainder of a parcel of land under common ownership with but not included within the ten-acre or larger tract for which a plan is prepared shall be less than 435 feet. Minimum initial construction on the ten-acre or larger tract shall be 20,000 square feet of floor area for a single structure and a total of 50,000 square feet of floor area for more than one structure.
B.
Where more than one structure is to be constructed, each structure shall be planned, designed and arranged to meet the requirements of § 370-7, whether or not subdivision is to occur. All lots exempt from the above requirements shall maintain a ratio of three feet of frontage for each five feet of depth; however, in no instance shall the frontage exceed the depth or be less than 150 feet.
A.
Special design requirements. In order to encourage the sound development
of major highway frontage, the following special provisions shall
apply in any location in the B-1 District which abuts U.S. Route 130
and other roads designated as major arterials by the Township Development
Plan:
(1)
Access barrier. Access to U.S. Route 130 and major arterials shall
be controlled in the interest of public safety. Each building or group
of buildings used for nonresidential purposes and its parking or service
areas shall be physically separated from the highway or arterial by
a curb and a low planting strip of not less than 20 feet in depth
or other suitable barrier against unchanneled motor vehicle access
or egress, except for accessways authorized therein. With respect
to all industrial uses permitted in this zone, the planting strips
must be at least 50 feet in depth.
(2)
All uses and development, present and future, within any ten-acre or larger tract fronting on Route 130 shall be in accordance with the overall plan. The overall plan shall not replace the site plan as called for by Chapter 205, Land Subdivision and Site Plan Review, Article V, Site Plan Approval, for each specific structure or development, except at the discretion of the developer. The overall plan shall show the manner in which access will be provided to the entire tract, the manner in which protective buffering will be afforded to any adjacent residential areas and building placement for the required minimum initial construction. In cases where the entire tract is not to be developed immediately, alternatives for future development may be included. A maximum of two curb cuts shall be permitted on Route 130 for each full 435 feet of frontage, and they shall be subject to the approval of the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Such curb cuts shall be not closer than 200 feet to each other at their points of intersection with Route 130, measured center line to center line. Interior driveways or access points off main driveways connecting with Route 130 shall be at least 30 feet from a property line which is also a street line of Route 130.[1]
(3)
Accessways for lots exempt from the ten-acre plan requirement. Each
separate use grouping of attached buildings or grouping of uses permitted
as part of a single integrated plan shall not have more than two accessways
to any one highway or arterial. The use of common accessways by two
or more permitted highway uses shall be encouraged in order to reduce
the number and closeness of access points along the highway, and to
encourage the fronting of commercial structures upon a marginal street
and not directly upon a public highway.
B.
